[midPoint] Link User during New User Creation

Jason,

what actions took place for the reconciliation? I.e. what situations
were configured to to apply what reaction?

If you were only linking (unlinked->linkAccount), not creating new users
in midPoint, I guess only about 20 users were linked and the rest of the
accounts were just searched and skipped after correlation expression has
been applied.

The recon results can be displayed by clicking Configuration - Shadow
Details and selecting the resource, kind and intent. In your case,
kind="account" and intent is almost for sure "default". You will see the
numbers/statistics of the accounts there.

I'd expect about 20 linked and the rest unmatched.

Regards,
I.
